A -- IN-LIQUID ACOUSTIC SASER DUE 031400 POC John Olschon, (803) 725-3369 E-MAIL: Click here to contact John Olchon via e-mail, john.olchon@srs.gov. This is a notice issued by Westinghouse Savannah River Company (WSRC), management and operating contractor for the U.S. Department of Energy's Savannah River Site (SRS) near Aiken, South Carolina. The purpose of this notice is to determine public interest in licensing the In-Liquid Acoustic SASER (Sound Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation). Consideration would also be given to a cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA). The In-Liquid Acoustic SASER device was designed to accelerate the cleanup of radioactively contaminated facilities. The device is a source of concentrated beam of high power ultrasonic sound analogs of the free electron laser where the light particles are synchronized by periodically arranged magnetic fields. The SASER is designed to operate in the 20-50 kHz range to promote cavitation at the surface of the solid waste in the same manner in which kidney stones are dissolved in the medical arena. Interested parties will be provided with a technical brief and instructions on applying for a license to this technology. A typical license agreement will contain license fees and running royalties. Responses to this notice must be received by March 14, 2000. Please contact John Olschon by telephone at 803-725-3369; by facsimile at 803-725-4988; by e-mail at john.olschon@srs.gov; or by regular mail at Westinghouse Savannah River Company, Savannah River Site, ATTN: John Olschon, Building 773-41A, Room 240, Aiken, SC 29808. This is not a solicitation for a formal subcontract; it is a request for Expressions of Interest only. Posted 02/15/00 (W-SN425651). (0046)
